We awoke the next day to many new killjoys armed and ready to fight, there was Neon Ninja, Zone Specter, Glorified Ignorance, Beloved Adversary, Acquaint Uncertainty, Advisable Deception, Organized Commotion, and Reliable Confliction. They were all eager to get revenge on BLI in any way possible.
We talked strategies, held target practice, and everyone got acquainted with the killjoys old and new. In the middle of it all, a knock came on the door and I jumped up to answer it. A woman with curly orange hair reaching down to her shoulders, a smile that could kill, and a hungry look in her eyes stood there and smiled at me and said, "We're here to help." I looked past her head to see about 500 killjoys standing behind her, clad in garbage lid shields and standard BLI employee guns.
"Y-Yeah, of course. One moment," I stuttered, "Party, Kobra, Jet, Ghoul, You better come here. You'll be… interested (fucking blown away) to see this.
They all came out of the caves they had been hiding in these past few hours and walked to the door.
"You've got to be fucking kidding me." Kobra said, shocked.
I gave them a puzzled look and Party whispered into my ear, "That's Genuine Chaos, Kobra's psycho android ex-girlfriend."
I nodded, and I realized how hard this must be for Kobra, but I guess I thought wrong.
Kobra ran and hugged Genuine close, "I thought you died!, It's been so long since I've heard from you!" He screamed.
"Well… Surprise, I'm not," She joked.
Corrupt and Contro had joined to see what all the commotion was about and the group gave a collective Whatthefuck? Look.
I watched as worry spread over Contro's face, as she looked down at what soon would be a real human broke away from Genuine and turned to face the very many confused and shocked faces. He seemed to get the question their expressions posed.
"Oh yeah, guys, sorry I failed to mention this… Genuine sent me a letter a couple years ago, It said…
Dearest Kobra,
I woke up in the shelter where you left me two years ago only to find that you were not there. At first I didn't see how and why I should survive without you, but I suddenly remembered all that I had done. I thought to all the times I threatened you, bossed you around, and the last time I saw you when I freaked out and demanded you tell me where the killjoy location was and that's when I realized, I never wanted to do those things, but there was a part of my mind that just said… you have to and now I know it was because BLI altered me to be an android, I was fucking brainwashed and I'm sorry you had to deal with all that. I was so thankful you left me somewhere that had food and shelter and soon many other killjoys came and asked if they could join me where I was hiding and that's when I decided I don't want to have anything to do with BLI any longer. It's been a long time since I've seen you or any of your cohorts, but I'm overjoyed to tell you that I now have a killjoy group of my own, and I'm married with a baby boy named Michael.
With Much Love,
Genuine Chaos
"So you see, she's on our side and she's brought many more to help us win this thing!," Mikey beamed.
Party just nodded and muttered, "Well alright then, let's get out of here already,"
The anxiety burned into the back of all our minds, it was all anyone could think about, the battle was so close, I could taste it. We packed everything of importance and loaded it into the variety of vehicles present at our killjoy hide out. Some took vans, some took motorcycles, but Corrupt, Party, Contro, Kobra, Jet, Ghoul, and I squeezed tight into the trans-am and led the killjoys towards the final battle.
We started as a family and we would end… as a family.
We drove far into the desert grounds of a zone thought to be completely extinct, but it looked as if someone had been working to restore its natural beauty. We filed into what looked like the remnants of a hotel, the first floor still remain intact and that's where our base would be. As everyone settled in, Corrupt, Ghoul, and I decided to go for a stroll around the area that we would soon be battling to the death in. The killjoys were hidden and awaiting the arrival of BLI, sneak ninja attacks for the win. We came across a street that seemed more peculiar than all the rest. On one side of the street lye houses sitting in pieces of destruction, but on the other stood cute colonial homes, appearing to be vacant and not appearing to have one flaw anywhere upon them. It felt so artificial. Wait a second…
Shit. Sometimes it sucks when everything makes sense.
"G-Ghoul." I stammered, "Something's wrong here and I think we need to leave…"
His and Corrupt's faces read pure terror, and he put his pointer finger to his lip, warning me to be quiet and that's when I heard it. A familiar raspy voice laughed, "A little late for that…. Don't you think?" and stone cold hands pinned my hands back and knocked my lights clear out, but not before seeing the same horror happen to Ghoul and Corrupt.
How many times have my loved ones faced danger because of me?
I'm more trouble than I'm fucking worth.
